Bug default session in screen command

Hello sir,
Im in a Fedora 9 system.
Im using screen to invoke the session that is created by me.
Whenever we open the terminal then a session is created by the operating system. I want to know what is the name of default session in screen command.
I could not get it using "screen -ls". Can you please tell meSmilie

That session isn't created by the OS, but by screen itself, and the naming convention used for the socket is <pid of screen>.<tty where invoked>.<hostname>
You can see this information if you enter "screen -ls" after starting a screen session. If there are no sockets, there are no screen sessions you can re-attach to.

I don't know if I understand you correctly. What do you mean by "when we click on terminal"? Do you mean a terminal emulation like GNOME Terminal, Konsole or XTerm, or something else? Do you automatically start the screen utility when you run one of those? And what do you mean by "name of the screen"?
